Study Notes

Large Language Models Survey

  • Large language models (LLMs) are pre-trained Transformer models with hundreds of billions of parameters trained on massive text corpora.
  • LLMs excel at various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including language understanding, generation, and few-shot learning.
  • LLMs show "emergent abilities" – capabilities not present in smaller models – when scaled.
  • Key aspects of LLMs include pre-training, adaptation tuning (e.g., LoRA), utilization (e.g., prompting strategies), and capacity evaluation.
  • Scaling laws, like Kaplan's and Chinchilla's, describe relationships between model size, data size, and compute in large language models.
  • Emergent abilities of LLMs include in-context learning (e.g., Few-shot learning), instruction following, and step-by-step reasoning.

Pre-training

  • Pre-training often involves language modeling, predicting the next word in a sequence from a large dataset.
  • Data sources for pre-training include web pages, books, and code repositories.
  • Data is cleaned by filtering out low quality data or duplicate data using classifiers and heuristics.
  • Data scheduling (data mixture, order) is crucial for efficient pre-training.
  • Model architecture, normalization methods, activation functions, and position embeddings impact pre-training effectiveness.

Model Adaptation

  • Instruction Tuning: Fine-tuning a pre-trained model on a dataset of instructions and expected outputs.
  • Prompts are used to elicit the ability for desired task or function.
  • Data quality (diversity, scale) and prompt design (complexity, formatting) significantly influence tuning outcomes.
  • Reward Model Training: Training a reward model to judge the quality of a large language model’s output for fine-tuning/reinforcement learning.
  • Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning (PEFT): Techniques like LoRA are used to adapt large language models to downstream tasks while significantly reducing the need for computation resource.

Model Utilization

  • Prompting is the main way to utilize LLMs for varied tasks.
  • Prompt engineering (designing specific instructions/prompts) influences LLM output quality.
  • Key prompt components are task description, input data, contextual information, and prompt style.
  • In-context learning (ICL) and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting are key methods.
  • Planning is an enhanced approach for more complex tasks, structuring the tasks into sub-tasks and plans.
  • Different prompting styles (ICL, CoT, planning) offer varying advantages in different scenarios.

Model Evaluation

  • Comprehensive benchmarks (MMLU, Big-bench, HELM), human-based evaluations, and model-based evaluations are necessary.
  • Evaluation datasets focus on various abilities, including language generation, knowledge utilization, complex reasoning, and human alignment.
  • Evaluation considers metrics like accuracy, faithfulness, and fluency.

Advanced Topics

  • Long-Context Modeling: Improving models' capacity to process lengthy sequences of text.
  • Efficient Model Adaptation: Techniques to improve training/inference efficiency (e.g., quantization, pruning).
  • LLM-Empowered Agents: Agents designed with LLMs as core component are explored to handle complex tasks and interactions with an environment.
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Using external knowledge sources to improve LLM responses for specific prompts, potentially reducing the need for re-training.
  • Hallucination Mitigation: Addressing issues of unreliable information generation by LLMs.
  • Data Scheduling, Data Quality, and Data Mixture are also crucial factors of LLM success and design.
